The Crystal Lake Group Campground

Framed by the striking Big Snowy Mountains, the Crystal Lake Group Campground offers an idyllic retreat for those seeking tranquil surroundings, scenic beauty, and a range of outdoor adventures. Its defining features include 23 spacious, well-separated campsites, access to a pristine alpine lake, and numerous trails leading to attractions like Grandview Point, the Ice Caves, and Crystal Cascades.

Situated at 5,700 feet, this U.S. Forest Service campground lies just over an hour's drive south of Lewistown, Montana, along a winding mountain road that adds to the sense of seclusion. Popular activities include hiking, biking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and fishing, with the lake annually stocked for anglers. Campsites are equipped with picnic tables and fire pits, while a boat launch facilitates non-motorized watercraft. The campground’s natural allure makes it ideal for weekend getaways, family gatherings, or quiet escapes into Montana’s rugged wilderness.
